Crown Us With Laurel: The Autobiography Of A Book

Overview

This is a book about making a book, how one writer turns the fairy dust of imagination into real talk. It shows the growth of a full-scale work of art out of a transitory image, thus bridging the psychological and the spiritual, the person and the world s/he lives in."

-from Crown Us With Laurel

â??What a lovely book: lovingly told, informative and inviting. The story of a woman coming into writing does much for our understanding of the creative process. Hereâ??s a book that takes us through the inside and outside of a womanâ??s writing journey. At the end, we discover that it is all in our hands, this writing, and in our hearts. Do we dare?â?

â??With her usual passion and intensity â?? it gives me pause that that could be usual, but with Lois it surely is â?? with her usual passion and intensity, Lois has created a tender, wild and revealing autobiographical journey. A journey that is not a gentle meander through the meadow or along the sidewalk of the shopping mall, but is a strong emotional journey of slashing a path through a sometimes painful thicket of self discovery. She has written herself into meaning â?? once again. Brava.â?
